Proceeding contribution from Lord Pannick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 21 May 2024. It occurred during Debate on bill on Victims and Prisoners Bill.
Victims and Prisoners Bill
My Lords, I associate myself with the remarks of the noble Lord, Lord Marks, and the noble Baroness, Lady Lister. I am unclear whether the Government accept, as I think they must, that the reason why they wish to disapply Section 3 of the Human Rights Act is because they recognise that, without such disapplication, the substantive provisions of this Bill would plainly contradict Britain’s obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights.
